Four charged in Thomas Co. thefts

THOMAS CO., GA (WALB) - Four people are behind bars, believed to be involved in a theft spree earlier this month in Thomasville and Thomas County.

"We don't think it was actually swift, it took us actually two weeks to get them into custody. So we are happy to have them off the streets right now, we wish we could have caught them a little quicker," said Tim Watkins, TCSO Chief Investigator.

"We've interviewed all four of them, they have admitted to doing those crimes to support their drug addictions," said Watkins.Investigators said earlier this month Hembree and Aldridge spent an hour in the parking lot of business, going through vehicles and stealing personal belongings.
